This airy Del Ray spot boasts some of the best breakfast food in the area, with menu offerings ranging from fresh scones and croissants, open-facing toasts, classic egg plates, and globally-inspired sandwiches (the "Roman," for example, frames a fried egg with focaccia, potatoes, romesco, and lemon zest, while the "Kim Chee" takes the bacon and egg combo and adds kim chee and lime rice mayo on a steamed bun). There's cold brew on nitro to keep the coffee enthusiasts caffeinated and array of European wines and regional microbrews behind the bar, making for a lively, buzzing ambience during peak brunch services and mellow dinners.
